In an age where social media often pressures individuals to present the most picture-perfect version of themselves, Laura Mazza took a refreshing stand by showcasing the reality of her postpartum body through honest before-and-after childbirth photos on Facebook.
Laura, a Melbourne-based blogger and mother of two, shared her story with a powerful message. “On the left – This was my body before kids,” she began, posting a picture of her pre-pregnancy self.
“No stretch marks. A belly button that was high. A flat stomach.” She then contrasted this with her current appearance, writing, “On the right is me now. People don’t want to see this photo. It’s not pleasing to the eye anymore. It’s not a body to be admired.”
